    Well worth listening to!
    A very compelling story from the beginning. In big historical events like these the effect on the individual is often forgotten, something this pod cast/audio drama took into account. The relentless conflict both within and around the characters made it all too clear what went on, and in some cases it still does. I find it sad how the main characters are ordinary personable characters trying to live normal lives making this story all the more tragic, and no matter how rational Miriam and Youssef try to be the events take control of their lives.

    Accurate
    Probably one of the most accurate portrayals of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict I have ever heard.
